There are several small restaurants and food stalls inside the market serving all kinds of seafood dishes like seafood rice bowls, sushi, and grilled fish. I especially recommend the seafood rice bowl here—it's packed with toppings, tastes great, and is reasonably priced.

Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, and hot springs are truly the symbols of Japan.

I rented a bike nearby and rode around Lake Kawaguchi. The scenery along the way was just like a painting—absolutely stunning with the lake and mountains.

You can sit in the garden, enjoy a coffee, listen to live music, and take in the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji in the distance. Such a pleasant experience.

The grounds are huge, with over 70 types of cherry blossoms. When they're in full bloom, it's honestly the most beautiful sight I've ever seen.

There's a slope next to the water collection spot, and the snow gets really slippery after lots of people walk on it. Many people in our group slipped and got hurt 🤕️

The penguin parade is super cute! The sardine tornado and dolphin training shows are also really fun to watch.

The Western-style wooden architecture itself is worth seeing. It's a fantastic example of Western design.

It's a lively area. The products are usually not expensive, and the food is pretty tasty too.
